How's your DOT test work? So to pass it the car must crumble to a certain specification? I've always been intrigued by why it was so hard for Jap n Aussie cars to get into the US unless they're manufactured to US specs.

The sad thing is that the most powerful Aussie production car (a holden) is made in Australia and is sold in England, and that one is more powerful than the local version... and it costs less in England...

Wut do you mean too tough?
